Model Archive – Norman Vilalta

Norman Vilalta is a bespoke shoemaker, his Ready To Wear line is outsourced to a Spanish factory.

A little backgroud, Norman Vilalta is Argentinian and his previous occupation was a lawyer. Later he found his passion in shoemaking and enrolled in Stefano Bemer studio. Justin Fitzpatrick joined later and became close friends with him as both share South American roots.

After graduation, Norman came to Barcelona and open his atelier and and prospered very quickly.

His iconic Decon boots are really sensational and combination of exquisite upper and rugged sole is also his signature.

Conclusion

As a bespoke shoemaker, he has much more models created than his RTW line, so we can think these are his favorite, or at least which he think customers would like to buy.

Also I heard some complaints about the quality of his RTW. I wish Norman can pull up his RTW line to match his bespoke reputation.
